Attention Cheapskates! Info on Ice Skating in New York City!

Ice skating is probably one of the coolest (literally) and most fun things one can do in the City. It's a great way to get out and enjoy this cold weather and NYC is one of the best places to go ice skating. Sometimes this sport can get a little expensive so I've listed all the spots in the city priced lowest to highest. Get out there and have fun!

Below is the the Code of Conduct and the Facebook Invitation for more details. This event is sure to be a blast!

Code of Conduct:
1) This is a water fight - don't bring any other weapons apart from water pistols, supersoakers, bottles and stuff that doesn't litter. WATER BOMBS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN - littering is a crime and we love out planet/Central park.

2) We are not going to be your parents, nor are we going to be the police, if you see some one doing something stupid tell them to stop - if your doing something stupid - don't, your going to ruin it and this has the potential to be a massive laugh

3) Dress to impress but not like a terrorist (your going to get wet just remember - hence why its happening in summer - its going to the the hottest ever recorded)

4) Don't terrorize the public - if they want to get involved let them . THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION

5) Don't bring camera's. They're going to get wet and DON'T come complaining when they don't work. There will be plenty of other people involved devoted to taking pictures. There is might be a film made so don't sock the guys involved with that.

6) This is a LAUGH, don't take it too seriously, and don't beat each other up over it (close up shooting and all that).

7) Don't leave any mess behind!!! We come and then go (the place looks the same as it does when we came, except more wet).

8) DON'T GET THE ARMED POLICE DEPLOYED BY BRINGING WATER PISTOLS THAT LOOK LIKE REAL GUNS!!!!!!!!!

9) If anyone asks who organized it - we all happened to be in the same place at the same time. If you see any of the "organizers" DON'T SPEAK TO US cause we had nothing to do with it!!!!!

10) No one get naked - you'll be arrested

11) No dyed water - it stains cloths AND it could stain the pavements..... Not good its vandalism

12) SPREAD THE WORD by clicking share!!!

13) COME AT YOUR OWN RISK - we are taking no responsibility for your actions or any accidents which you may incur during your time at New York's Largest water Fight. We reserve the right to cancel or postpone this event without prior notice if we feel that people are attempting to cause either of the above.
